I’m Gavin Newsom.

And, it’s time to have a conversation. It’s time to have honest discussions with people that agree AND disagree with us.

It's time to answer the hard questions and be open to criticism, and debate without demeaning or dehumanizing one other.

I will be doing just that on my new podcast – inviting people on who I deeply disagree with to talk about the most pressing issues of the... more

    I am a retired Respiratory Therapist, my wife is a nurse, and we live in beautiful San Francisco. I would like to take a moment and appreciate you.

Corporate Dems paved the way for a faux populist, Trump. And he was not the change they hoped for. Listening to Ruddy call ... more

  • Social Media Lies

    Zuck and Musk own social media. They are not stopping state-sponsored influence campaigns from China and Russia. They are not removing AI generated bots. They are amplifying lies about the Democratic Party. This is why the Dems have low approval. Social Media is not a reliable source of news.

    The Dems invested in healthcare, refused to Tariff Americans, had a humane immigration bill, never kill protesters, keep us out of war, and impose fair taxes.
